Tarantulas and Spiders

[3skulls]

Hey guys,

Substrate and water questions:

1. What are recommended substrates for a rosehair T?

2. After some reading, I've seen a sponge or paper towel is not necessary for drinking. I understand bacteria growth issues and giving crickets a way out if they fall in, but why has that stance changed for Ts drinking water w/o a sponge or other apparatus in the water?



Note: I am not getting a T, I have an obligation to make sure the Nature Center is caring for their Rose Hair properly.

Coconut fiber.
Anything over 2" keep it dry.

Never use a sponge in any dish. If you are worried about crickets getting back out, use a rock.


The best info you'll ever find.
